Why Delft companies invest in software
With engineering and robotics spin-outs, businesses in Delft face growing pressure to digitise operations, serve customers online and integrate with partners. The most common requests we receive from Delft are digital wallet & E-Wallet app, SaaS MVP development and IoT platform & connected device apps.
Because Delft draws talent from Delft University of Technology, many companies here run lean in-house teams and use NNT Software to add product engineering, QA, DevOps or AI skills on demand — with delivery scheduled around CET working hours.

Digital Wallet & E-Wallet App for Delft
A digital wallet app stores money or payment credentials so users can pay, transfer and top up from their phone. For Delft clients we usually begin with top-ups & cash-out (cards, bank transfers and agents) and virtual cards, then add bill payments and ledger & reconciliation. Pricing is set as per your requirements and budget.
SaaS MVP Development for Delft
A SaaS MVP is the smallest version of a subscription software product that proves customers will use and pay for it. For Delft clients we usually begin with analytics (activation and retention tracking) and launch & iterate, then add discovery sprint and ux prototype. Typical first release: 8–12 weeks.
IoT Platform & Connected Device Apps for Delft
An IoT platform connects devices, collects their data and lets people monitor and control them. For Delft clients we usually begin with rules engine (automations and thresholds) and mobile app, then add device provisioning and data pipeline. Typical first release: 12–20 weeks.
Crypto Payment Gateway for Delft
A crypto payment gateway lets merchants accept Bitcoin, Ethereum and stablecoins such as USDT and USDC, with instant conversion to fiat if required. For Delft clients we usually begin with compliance (wallet screening, travel rule and reports) and merchant onboarding, then add checkout & plugins and stablecoin rails. Typical first release: 10–16 weeks.
Example project in Delft
